When to Give a Morning Gift

Traditionally, the morning gift was given the morning after the wedding. Today, many choose to give it earlier – before the ceremony, during the reception, or even on the honeymoon. What matters most is the moment you create around it.

Other Post-Wedding Gift Traditions

In addition to the morning gift, many couples choose to exchange other meaningful gifts and gestures after the wedding:

Honeymoon

A romantic escape to celebrate the beginning of married life.

Anniversary gifts

Yearly tokens of love that honor the journey you’ve shared. Need ideas? See our full guide to wedding anniversaries here

Shared investments

Like buying a home, starting a creative project, or beginning something entirely new – together.
